Summary: Error during installation of snmpstats module 

Initial Comment:
Hi,

The following line, used in the target ‘install_module_custom’ in the Makefile of the snmpstats module,  

  $(INSTALL-CFG) mibs/OPENSER* $(INSTALLMIBDIR)

give this error message:

  mibs/OPENSER* /mypath/mibs
  /bin/sh: mibs/OPENSER-MIB: cannot execute

When the global make executes this line to install a module:

  $(MAKE) -C `dirname "$$r"` install_module_custom

$(INSTALL-CFG) has a valid value (ginstall -m 644) but this value is not available in the new instance of make.

According to the documentation of make (5.7.2 Communicating Variables to a Sub-make) '-' is not allowed in the name of exported variables. So, I replaced $(INSTALL-CFG) by $(INSTALL_CFG) in several Makefile and now it works.

The global solution is to rename *all* ${VARIA-BLE} by ${VARIA_ABLE} (At least those who need to be exported to sub-make)

NOTE: For the moment only two modules are concerned: perl and snmpstats.
